q2 i? Weighted student success rates for vital pulps (87.8%) and necrotic pulps (65.6%) fall within or near ranges reported for post‐graduate endodontic residents (74.3–100% and 73.8–83.7%). → Chien 2025

The review's discussion compares its own meta‐analytic student success rates with ranges it attributes to Ng et al. (2007) for post‐graduate endodontic residents; the comparison is narrative, not a pooled statistical test.

"These results do not differ significantly from experienced clinicians such as post‐graduate endodontic residents who listed a range of 74.3–100% for teeth with vital pulps and 73.8–83.7% for teeth with necrotic pulps (Ng et al., 2007)."
